!!!MAP isolation valve Question!!!

OK.... well from what i've searched through numerous threads... it sounds like i'm not having a boost leak... cause i don't... i believe my cars MAP sensor senses the boost and doesn't like it too much.... so it chokes up and flutters out at about 3-4K depending on how fast i reach full boost... so my question is... what do i buy to not let the MAP sensor see this boost????not buying SF Bullshit.... will the missing link work??? and does it work well and get the job done??? it's only like $50 wanna make sure it's worth it though.... thanks guys!!!!

yeah really......i can't believe ppl install turbos without doing this

I threw out SF's POS check valve and bought the ML and installed it from the start

The only problem is, there is a little tiny air filter that you install with it and you gotta keep cleaning it or your car will still flutter.

You won't find any cheaper than circa $55 plsu s&h, because of Snyapse's Pricing Control.

How much did you pay for your turbo?

Come on $50 is nothing compared to the overall price of the kit.

If you dont get it you will be sorry and saying

Why be cheap on something that makes a world of difference?

It's all good. Just doesn't make much sense to go cheap with FI considering the consequences. It's a cheaper item, we stock em too

So did i miss the part where Dezod is like 3 bucks cheaper... it's not that much... but it's still $3 more in my wallet... unless SLP is offering 7thgencivic member discounts then i'm just not seeing them being cheaper...

It's $60 plus $6 shipping which is cheaper than other sites I've seen. FL residents 7% tax will also be added.

It's supposed to make the transition from negative to positive smoother and also eliminate any MAP related CEL's. Glad to hear everything is well
